Jenning's Red Breast (4.5%)

Tried in cask.
Season beer.
Deep red colour. Smells like another Jennings bitter. Tastes like any other Jennings beer with the same smoky after-taste.

Jenning's Crag Rat (4.3%)

Available in cask!

Golden/Copper coloured with a firm creamy head. Refreshing taste with a subtle hopp flavour coming through. Warm bitter finish.

Jennings' Cumberland (4.0%)

Bottled beer sampled and cask!
I find all the Jennings beers to be very distinctive be they the lighter Cocker Hoop to the darker Sneck Lifter (to be reviewed later). Cumberland is a golden beer with a subtle hoppy flavour, but a refreshing crisp bitterness that is quite satisfying.

Jennings' Cocker Hoop (4.2%)

Bottled beer sampled though available in cask! I find some Jenning's beers can be a little too full on with their bitterness, though this golden beer certainly doesn't have to worry about that, although it is still distinctly a Jenning's beer with flavours reminiscent of their other beers, the after taste starts a promising hoppy flavour but dissolves away to a bitter taste that is slightly disappointing.
